Section 6 — Control Panel Configuration
If control panel access to all Areas is not desired, various methods are avail-
able to restrict panel access.
• Area Exclusion Sets can be created that specify which Areas a panel can
access when it is being configured. This makes it easy to set up the
panel to access just one Area, only a some of the facility’s Areas.
• Destination Exclusion Set can also be created and assigned to panels to
restrict specific Destinations of specific Areas.
• Control panels with keypad sets (PMB, XY, UCP, etc.) can be managed
with the
Keypad Local Source
and
Keypad Areas
parameters, which specify
allowed Areas. These panels always indicate in some manner which
Area the Selected Source or Destination belongs to. The XY panel only
shows the Area name when the Source is in a remote Area.
• Control panels with scrolling displays (like PMB and XY panels) have
Prev and Next keys can be used to scroll through Sources and Destina-
tions one Area at a time.
Configuring Control Panels to Access All Areas
The default configurations for control panels allow access to all Areas, and
so additional configuration may not be required. However, you can check
the settings are correct with the following procedure:
1. While logged into the CP Server application controlling that control
panel, select the target panel category and type (for example,
Encore
,
XY
).
2. Select the individual panel.
3. Select
Configure Flags
to access the Attributes and Flags menu.
4. Make sure the
Area Exclusion Set
parameter is
Default
. This set excludes no
Areas.
5. The panel will then be able to be configured with Sources and
Destinations in all Areas.
Note Destination Exclusion sets can affect panel access, and panels with keypads
may also have other restrictions, as explained below.
